Pull md update from Neil Brown:
 "Mostly just little fixes.  Probably biggest part is AVX accelerated
  RAID6 calculations."

* tag 'md-3.8' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
  md/raid5: add blktrace calls
  md/raid5: use async_tx_quiesce() instead of open-coding it.
  md: Use -&gt;curr_resync as last completed request when cleanly aborting resync.
  lib/raid6: build proper files on corresponding arch
  lib/raid6: Add AVX2 optimized gen_syndrome functions
  lib/raid6: Add AVX2 optimized recovery functions
  md: Update checkpoint of resync/recovery based on time.
  md:Add place to update -&gt;recovery_cp.
  md.c: re-indent various 'switch' statements.
  md: close race between removing and adding a device.
  md: removed unused variable in calc_sb_1_csm.

Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
 "Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8.  The
  branch contains:

   - A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
     window.  Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
     there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
     situation on individual pulls can be improved.

   - A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.

   - Queue improvement for loop from Lukas.  This grew into adding a
     generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
     lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
     also using it.

   - A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.

   - Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
     to be used as an identifier."

* 'for-3.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (609 commits)
  drbd: update Kconfig to match current dependencies
  drbd: Fix drbdsetup wait-connect, wait-sync etc... commands

  drbd: respect no-md-barriers setting also when changed online via disk-options
  drbd: Remove obsolete check
  drbd: fixup after wait_even_lock_irq() addition to generic code
  loop: Limit the number of requests in the bio list
  wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface

which is very similar to the body of async_tx_quiesce(),
except that the later handles an error from dma_wait_for_async_tx()
(admittedly by panicing, but that decision belongs in the dma
code, not the md code).

So just us async_tx_quiesce().

<title>wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface</title>

<content type='text'>
New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit
moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait
includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using
the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use
of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant.

The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data
structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd"
before putting it to sleep.

All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock
is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the
macro with the lock held.

Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while
using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of
lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.

commit 9e44476851e91c86c98eb92b9bc27fb801f89072
    MD: raid5 avoid unnecessary zero page for trim

change raid5 to clear R5_Discard when the complete request is
handled rather than when submitting the per-device discard request.
However it did not clear R5_Discard for the parity device.

This means that if the stripe_head was reused before it expired from
the cache, the setting would be wrong and a hang would result.

Also if the R5_Uptodate bit happens to be set, R5_Discard again
won't be cleared.  But R5_Uptodate really should be clear at this point.

So make sure R5_Discard is cleared in all cases, and clear
R5_Uptodate when a 'discard' completes.

stripe_handle.

The chunk of code in stripe_handle which responds to a
*_result value in reconstruct_state is really the completion
of some processing that happened outside of handle_stripe
(possibly asynchronously) and so should be one of the first
things done in handle_stripe().

After the next patch it will be important that it happens before
handle_stripe_clean_event(), as that will clear some dev-&gt;flags
bit that this code tests.
